I believe AF shortcomings, if there are any at all with the 5D, can be dealt with proper technique like using the central Af point and reframing instead of using peripheral af points; I used a borrowed 5D (mark I) in the studio once and I didin't notice any shorcomings in AF performance - just different ergonomics compared to what I was used to..
Anyways I also support the view that for people shooting - a full frame, together with way better viewfinder is better suited, mainly becouse of better DOF control (and also higher ISO capability, comes in handy at times).
Anyways, nothing like trying it out for yourself, even with an old 5D mark I, to see whether it fits your needs and expectations (which I strongly advice before parting with the cash <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
